I am getting a NPE when running checkstyle in eclipse using the attached xml. Works fine with google checkstyle. I am using eclipse oxygen on windows 10 64 bit.
I couldn't reproduce the issue with your configuration file, however, I put some safeguards in place to prevent the NPE at the affected position. Fix will be in upcoming 8.5.0
